September 30, <strong>2016</strong><br />

On redemption or at maturity, the Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal<br />

amount of the 2013 Debentures by issuing and delivering common shares. The Company may also elect to<br />

satisfy its obligations to pay interest on the 2013 Debentures by delivering common shares. The Company does<br />

not expect to exercise the option to satisfy its obligations to pay the principal amount or interest by delivering<br />

common shares. The number of any shares issued will be determined based on market prices at the time of<br />

issuance.<br />

The Company presents and discloses its financial instruments in accordance with the substance of its<br />

contractual arrangement. Accordingly, upon issuance of the 2013 Debentures, the Company recorded a liability<br />

of $86,250, less related offering costs of $3,847. The liability component has been accreted using the effective<br />

interest rate method, and during the nine-month period ended September 30, <strong>2016</strong>, the Company recorded<br />

accretion of $660 [2015 – $621], non-cash interest expense relating to financing costs of $567 [2015 – $532] and<br />

interest expense of $3,396 [2015 – $3,396]. The residual value assigned to the holder’s option to convert the<br />

2013 Debentures to common shares in the total amount of $4,480 has been separated from the fair value of the<br />

liability and is included in shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes of $1,134 and its pro rata share of financing<br />

costs of $211.<br />

2014 Debentures<br />

In December 2014, the Company issued $51.8 million aggregate principal amount of extendible convertible<br />

unsecured subordinated debentures [the “2014 Debentures”] at a price of $1,000 per 2014 Debenture. The 2014<br />

Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 5.25% payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The<br />

maturity date of the 2014 Debentures is December 31, 2019.<br />

Each 2014 Debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at any time<br />

on the earlier of the maturity date and the date of redemption of the 2014 Debenture, at a conversion price of<br />

$65.57 per common share being a conversion rate of approximately 15.2509 common shares per $1,000<br />

principal amount of 2014 Debentures. No conversion options were exercised during the nine-month period ended<br />

September 30, <strong>2016</strong> [year ended December 31, 2015 – nil]. As at September 30, <strong>2016</strong>, <strong>AGI</strong> has reserved<br />

789,233 common shares for issuance upon conversion of the 2014 Debentures.<br />

The 2014 Debentures are not redeemable before December 31, 2017. On and after December 31, 2017 and<br />

prior to December 31, 2018, the 2014 Debentures may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the<br />

Company at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided that the volume<br />

weighted average trading price of the common shares during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth<br />

trading day preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the<br />

conversion price. On and after December 31, 2018, the 2014 Debentures may be redeemed, in whole or in part,<br />

at the option of the Company at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.<br />
